Looking for 1 week getaway without our kids. THe price is about the same for a garden-view luxury room (not suite) at the SOmerset AND an oceanfront 1BR suite at the Turks & Caicos Club.....is T&C more'remote' we are huge ANguilla fans & trying something different. ANy pros/cons?

sorry-is T&C CLUb more remote than the SOmerset. Also-sidenote but will we encounter people selling us things on the beach? ???

No one will sell you things on the beach or bug you.

For the money, while Somerset is one of my all time favorite places, the luxury room without a suite is not worth the money, it's basically a lockout of a bigger unit. To appreciate the Someset, you really need a room up-with a full kitchen, not just someone's "shared" suite. so for you i would choose T&C Club.

I love Anguilla, but I also love T&C. The water in T&C is a little more turqouise, the beaches are longer. There is great snorkeling, especially close by to T&C Club. Grace Bay Beach is long, and has condos lined up, but you can still find sections all to yourself. The beach is stunning. Anguilla feels more remote, and has the edge on restaurants, however, the restaurants in T&C are great too. The settings of the restaurants there are awesome. Also try a water excursion through the cays-the beaches get prettier and prettier, and you have them mostly to yourself.

Thanks so much! i have read so many of your posts on this site in doing my research.

Another option could be Parrot Cay,or Point Grace (both garden view rooms)....

We have been going to ANguilla for years but we only have 5 nights this time & T&C is a shorter distance/saves 1/2 day getting there.....

Parrot cay might be nice/secluded but you are stuck at the resort for all 5 days which would be fine b/c this is our first time away w/o kids in a long time....but just want to make sure it would be 'worth it' so we're not 'stuck'....otherwise T&C CLub, or Point Grace might give us flex. with dinner like on Anguilla how you go out each night to a new restarants...

This is our first trip w/o the kids in years so very special-dont want somewhere with lots of kids as much as I love them..so many of the hotels seem to be suites im guessing its b/c it attracts lots of families?

would you do parrot cay? for R&R just a couple etc.... or T&C Club? Thanks so much in advance! It could be a few yhears before goin gaway w/o the kids again so want to make the best choice...
T&C club looks pretty but wondering is there a real concierge etc (ie lack of an 'infrastructure?')

I would choose the 1 bedroom oceanfront suite at the Turks & Caicos Club as it's more value - as you'll get a big suite and an ocean view. It's a full service hotel and just lovely with a restaurant and great beach next to the snorkeling.
